Go to become a god, let me marry into the sect

Early January.

Gu An received news from the sect that today was the day to collect resources.

Of course, he didn't have any, but he knew that some people in the outer sect were starting to "borrow" spirit stones.

Although he didn't have any himself, he wasn't necessarily immune.

He only hoped they wouldn't come this way.

Recently, he had roughly understood the situation here; there was a small market in each of the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

The things in the east were the most common and also the cheapest.

The north was indeed the best.

Outside, there was actually a city, where some family forces and outer sect disciples resided.

However, living in the city required paying spirit stones.

Poor casual cultivators couldn't afford it.

Therefore, there were still some markets similar to the Vajra Wood Spirit Garden around.

Because the logging caused some burns on his body, Gu An also spent some spirit stones to buy healing talismans.

He could sense that once his cultivation improved and he finished learning the Qi Sea Gang Qi, he would become immune to this kind of damage.

As long as he didn't chop randomly, he should be able to maintain balance, and he could live here normally.

If he was having such a hard time, needless to say, others were even worse off.

No wonder there weren't many people here.

Because it was the day to collect resources, there was no need to log wood today.

Gu An also wanted to go out for a walk, buy some food to bring back, and then build his courtyard.

He had to create a room and a practice room no matter what.

Having a pond, he could also raise two fish when he had time.

He didn't know how long he would be living here.

Just as he opened the door and walked out, he found a figure by the pond.

A little girl was peering curiously into the pond.

Her features were delicate, like a porcelain doll.

But her clothes were ordinary, and she wore two simple jade bracelets on her wrists, one on each side.

One of them even had a crack, looking like it would break at any moment.

She had the air of a little fairy fallen from grace.

Who is she? Gu An frowned.

Why would there be a child in the sect?

Although he didn't know much about the sect, he hadn't seen such a young child in the past few days?

She looked only four or five years old and didn't have any cultivation fluctuations on her body.

She shouldn't be a sect disciple.

Gu An didn't want to pay attention to her, but as he was about to leave, the little girl slipped because she was leaning too far forward.

She was stunned for a moment, then became a little scared.

Just as she was about to fall into the water, a hand grabbed her collar.

It was an uncle with stubble and not so young.

"Where did this child come from?" Gu An's eyes showed no emotion.

Although the water here wasn't deep, he was afraid of accidents.

Her parents were really carefree.

"Thank you, Uncle," the little girl said, bowing after being put down. "My name is Guoguo, and I just moved here."

As she spoke, she pointed to the way she had come.

Gu An looked over; he remembered that there was a courtyard there, but no one had lived there before.

Such a deep location in the east wasn't a good place.

Except for him, no one would come here.

Unless it was to avoid something.

Without thinking too much, Gu An was about to leave.

But just after walking some distance, he saw a woman in her late twenties running towards this side in a panic.

Gu An made way for her, but he didn't have any interaction with her.

Going out today, he saw that the atmosphere was not good.

And he also heard someone borrowing spirit stones.

It seemed that things had already come.

He bought some necessary food and healing talismans in the city, and he wandered around.

He needed to prepare for the future, so he had to find out where he could buy cultivation techniques or spells.

In a few more days, he would be able to advance to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Perhaps he could advance to the ninth level this year.

Such speed was really fast.

It was hard to say what would happen later; whether he could break away from Qi Refining was completely unknown.

Cultivation techniques, bottlenecks, and so on all had to be considered.

In the evening, Gu An returned to the east side.

He found that cultivation techniques and the like still needed to be exchanged for merit points.

In addition, the outer sect disciples' storage treasures usually also needed to be exchanged for merit points.

It wasn't too difficult; he could save up for a few months.

However, he could only exchange for one.

If it was gone, he would have to buy it.

Buying one cost at least one hundred or two hundred spirit stones.

With five spirit stones a month, he would have to save for three or four years without eating or drinking.

Just as he was about to reach his residence, he suddenly heard a quarrel.

"Senior brothers, we really don't have any extra spirit stones," a simply dressed woman said in a low voice.

Behind her was a little girl, who seemed to be looking at the people in front of her with some fear.

Facing the two of them were five men.

The five men stood sparsely, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the woman's retreat.

They had warm smiles on their faces: "Junior sister is joking; actually, one of our junior sisters was seriously injured, and when she went to Lingzhu Peak, she said she needed five hundred spirit stones.

Such a large number of spirit stones, even if we all gave them, wouldn't be enough, so we had no choice but to borrow spirit stones.

Now we are only a few spirit stones short; surely junior sister won't stand by and watch us die, right?"

The woman looked at the few people with some difficulty: "I haven't completed the task and don't have any spirit stones on me."

"How could that be? We heard that junior sister should have received a sum of spirit stones; otherwise, show us your storage treasure; if there really aren't any, we will leave immediately and won't embarrass junior sister," the leading man said sincerely.

He was quite burly, with a seventh level of Qi Refining cultivation.

The people beside him were either at the sixth or seventh level.

This woman was at the seventh level.

Gu An glanced at them and didn't pay too much attention, but went straight to his residence.

These people were not normal.

A woman with a child, who had just received spirit stones, couldn't wait to come to this remote place.

It didn't make sense.

Who would borrow spirit stones starting from the poorest place?

The people here couldn't even complete the task.

It was almost the same as coming to try their luck last.

After all, newly recruited disciples were the target of everyone.

Of course, he also hoped that these people could ignore him.

When he passed by, although some people looked over, Gu An just respectfully gave a greeting and quickly left.

Until he returned to his residence, no one called out to him.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu An didn't know how those people were dealt with in the end, but he didn't see anything unusual the next day.

Of course, this kind of situation was still happening constantly, as could be seen from the logging area.

Many people were quite heavy-hearted.

"Do you have any situation here? Do you need my help?" Hua Jiyang asked with a smile.

Gu An thanked him and said that he didn't have any for the time being.

However, on the evening of that day, when he left the logging area, he was surrounded by three people.

Three sixth-level Qi Refining cultivators.

"This uncle looks quite familiar," the three of them looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

The leading man had a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Senior brothers, is there anything I can do for you?" Gu An asked.

"It's really rare to hear the word 'senior brother' from the mouth of an old man in his eighties; it's really not something I'm used to.

Is your talent that bad? You're already at the sixth level of Qi Refining at such an old age?" the leading man asked.

He was quite thin, like a bamboo pole, but there was a feeling of blood energy surging.

"My talent is indeed a bit lacking," Gu An nodded.

"That's a pity; our talent is not bad; would you like to put your hope on the three of us? Sponsor us with some spirit stones, and when we achieve great success in the future, we can give you some guidance," the skinny man asked.

At this time, the people around, seeing this situation, all went around.

They didn't have any intention of coming over.

Some were even watching with interest.
